Question can i up grade my4wheel drum bracks on a 1964 silver cloud to a disk setup if so where do i get parts and who does this work thanks john el paso tx
Answer I have never heard of such a conversion, but who knows, with the will and the money, anything can be done! BUT, what would be the point, the drum brakes on the Clouds are excellent, providing a much larger contact area than Discs. The typical faults with the clouds lies elsewhere, in the servo unit, master cylinders or linkage adjustment. When these brakes are working efficiently they are excellent. Find someone in your area who knows the cars. For a recommendation of mechanics try calling the staff at "Albers Bentley" in Indiana 317 873 2560.
